Examines the effect of the Competition Act 1998 on property transactions. Looks at various business activities which could cause competition law problems. Includes section on whether a merger will qualify for an investigation pointing out that one will only be triggered when it satisfies either the assets or the market-share test. Also considers if it is a non-land agreement which is not affected by the law. Reflects that competition law may not be completely negative for business as a third party affected by a merger may object to the OFT and its final decision may be influenced.
